Room Of The Week: A Beach Haven

It's every designers dream to design a beach house and since it's summer I couldn't help, but find this space to be very inspiring.

I love how the space captures the natural colors of the beach and ocean through texture, color and pattern. I enjoyed how the peacock teal is incorporated into the mix of these neutrals...I am a sucker for high contrast.

Happy Friday!!!

Breakfast Anyone?

I couldn't help but look twice a this adorable breakfast room. My friends know I love the color coral and this settee looks so fresh in this setting. This bright colored settee is toned down with these stunning chairs upholstered in an animal-inspired print creating a nice balance of color. Did I mention I love the Eero Saarinen white lacquer pedestal table? Breakfast Anyone?

Room Of The Week: Sheer Symmetry

*via Elle Decor

I chose this space for the room of the week because of it's conclusive symmetry. It's fresh and well balanced. Maybe after a long week, balance, is what I am lacking. Symmetry is so important in design not only does symmetry make for a good design, but it plays an important role on the psyche and keeping one centered. The simple horizontal lines of the wall and drapery is the backdrop for accentuating the curvature of the furniture lines in the forefront. Don't you feel more balanced by looking at this space? Happy Friday!

Currently Loving: Graphic Painted Floors

I am currently loving graphic painted floors. I was allured by the chevron patterned floor Mary McDonald designed for a home office on Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators. Who would have thought that a loud patterned floor could look so tasteful and elegant. I am eagerly waiting to get my hands on some floors to paint. Any takers?

This application is by far my favorite. I love the chevron pattern in these neutral colors it's edgy yet sophisticated.
